Health Navigators, as Community Health Workers (CHWs), support refugee families by addressing social determinants of health. In partnership with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Community Navigators, and Re:Source Cleveland, they work to improve health literacy among refugees across the region.
Additionally, Health Navigators provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed training and consultation to healthcare providers, ensuring comprehensive and compassionate care. |
